Eric McCormack: "Will & Grace" & "Travelers" Are Both Fantasy Shows

"Travelers" is about time travelers saving civilization, and “Will &​ Grace” is about pretending people in New York can afford such nice apartments.

TranscriptCONAN: IT’S FUNNY, BECAUSE YOUR CHARACTER ON "TRAVELERS," VERY DIFFERENT FROM WILL TRUMAN.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S AMAZING YOU'RE DOING BOTH SHOWS SIMULTANEOUSLY BECAUSE THEY'RE QUITE DIFFERENT.
ERIC: WHEN I GOT THE CALL TO DO "WILL AND GRACE" AGAIN, I GOT THE CALL, SOUNDS LIKE COMMISSIONER GORDON CALLED ME.
AMERICA NEEDS YOU TO BE GAY AGAIN!
NO, BUT --
ANDY: I GET THAT CALL ALL THE TIME.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
[LAUGHTER]
CONAN: I TELL ANDY THAT EVERY MORNING.
YOU'RE GAY TODAY!
ANDY: TOO MUCH WORK!
ERIC: IT'S WORKING VERY WELL.
BUT I WAS DOING THIS VERY STRAIGHT SCI-FI SHOW, SHOOTING THE SECOND SEASON OF IT AND WE MANAGED TO MAKE BOTH SHOWS WORK SO I LITERALLY WENT ONE DAY FROM BEING A STRAIGHT GUY WITH A GUN AND A WIFE, FROM THE FUTURE, AND THE NEXT DAY I'M LIVING WITH DEBORAH MESSING AGAIN BUT I REALIZED THAT THE SHOWS ARE SHOCKINGLY SIMILAR IN THAT ONE IS ABOUT TRAVELERS FROM THE FUTURE COME TO CHANGE THE PRESENT AND THE OTHER IS ABOUT A TEAM OF QUEENS FROM 10 YEARS AGO COME TO FIX THE PRESENT.
CONAN: THINK OF IT THAT WAY.
YOU TRAVEL THROUGH TIME.
ERIC: TRAVEL THROUGH TIME AND THEY'RE BOTH FANTASIES BECAUSE TIME TRAVEL'S NOT REAL AND NO ONE COULD REALLY AFFORD THAT APARTMENT IN NEW YORK.
